Seriously lacking in samples.

Price? eheheh

When the moving sensor feature is turned on, does the resultant footage have a feel of 'gate weave', i.e.: in a locked off shot, the image is still drifting around ever so slightly? Which would be...

Oh Wow, I just read the article further and learned it has a Moving Sensor! I've been dreaming about this for a while!

It's a great tool to have.

But when you have all the screen data and the waveform on screen, you can't see your image. After I'm done exposing I always turn everything off and just look at the...

I got a reply from the Canon Canada pro department regarding the color inaccuracies in Cinema Lock Mode.

The rep stated 'That's just the way the camera is. It's up to the user to deal with in...

Thanks for the profiles Cowpunk!
I tried them all, looked great.

On the weekend I was testing a Profile made with the EOS STD matrix, and the C-Log curve, with blacks dipped to proper levels. ...

The Canon Canada pro dept. is now aware of the issue, has test files in hand, and is working to solve the color issue.

Can't wait to test the C-Log profile!

Wow! Happy to spur! Can't wait to try the same tests with these profiles! You're a godsend Brian!

I've started a dialogue with the Pro Department at Canon Canada.

Surprisingly, they've never heard of any issues with color in the C300. They're working hard at the moment to try and help us...

Very interesting Jeff, I'm going to join the site and examine your findings.

I'm seeing this too. I feel like I'm looking at 6-bit color or something, the color just feels stretched and... well, not thick.

It's just a general clippy, over exposed, thin color, thin...

Yes, I don't doubt it.

With a day of testing, digging into the menus, having some scopes and other tools handy, I'm sure that an owner-operator of the camera could lick the problem.

It's...

Thanks for the insights Cowpunk.

Actually we first noticed the cyan shift of the green under Daylight conditions. Then, to test the two cameras against each other, we actually only had time to...

Edited first post.

We tested another camera against ours... Same results!

What the? We're starting to think the c300 is unfortunately going to become a paperweight! Anyway... time to talk to...

This is extremely helpful - thanks!

The curse of fcp..:(

Haven't tried a BMD card even though we have one at the office...

The clincher is that some of the picture profiles reproduce the color well (varying degrees), with EOS STD...

It was just the fcp color corrector for a quickie contrast addition. Not normal practice, just something to quickly show the color distortion.

We worked the same footage in Apple Color and After...

I'll assume that with this many views - no one has really had much problem with accurate colors on this camera.

Posted grabs.

Actually the red looks semi-okay in the grabs, but we've had some problems on a shoot (branded soccer jerseys turning orange..)

I'll post grabs on Monday, all the test shots are at my office.

Thanks for responding Cowpunk!

After doing some testing with my companies c300 last week, we determined that the cinema lock (c-log) mode, and the cinema picture profiles have completely inaccurate colors!

Greens were skewed...

Such lovely craftsmanship!

It's just so nice that a camera rig could actually involve the use of wood. I'm so happy there is still a place for wood in the camera world.

Wow! Looking really good! Poster work for the c300!

Seriously though that's a lot of setups and some fast shooting for a one camera movie! I hope the actors were well prepped or those days were...
